    About this audiobook

    Phoenix Park is the man I fantasize about...hitting with my car, that is.

     

    He's rich. He's sexy. He's the absolute worst. But after I fall prey to an internet scam and lose every last penny in my account (please don’t ask), it’s Phoenix who swoops in with an offer I can’t refuse. I’ll marry him for the summer so he can inherit the family company from his dying grandmother, and in return, he’ll drop a hefty sum of money into my bank account.

     

    Buy me a pair of sweatpants with GOLD DIGGER across the butt, because I’m just desperate enough to agree.

     

    Our arrangement is only supposed to be for a few months, until Phoenix’s poor grandmother passes. I can pretend for that long. I can stop insulting him long enough to force a few smiles and some lovey-dovey glances. But with every touch we share, with every kiss we fake, I find the walls around my heart beginning to crack--letting in feelings I'm not prepared for.

     

    And when Phoenix’s grandmother makes a miraculous recovery, leaving us stuck indefinitely in this charade of holy matrimony? That’s when I know I’m really in trouble.

      Desperate for money after a financial scam, Holland makes a deal with the infuriatingly wealthy and handsome Phoenix: She’ll marry him for the summer so he can inherit his family’s company. Their fake marriage is supposed to be temporary, but as their charade unfolds, Holland finds herself falling for the man she swore she hated.

      Hilarious and heartwarming, this rom com is a delight to read. The banter is brilliant. Holland and Phoenix are lovable and perfect for each other. The story is strong and fast-paced. I enjoyed the audiobook narration.

      Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
